The new bks+ web edge sensors are equipped with the latest IO-Link version 1.1.3. This enables seamless integration into modern production environments and further optimises monitoring of the material position. The web edge sensors offer a wide working range of 12 mm or 40 mm
The web edge sensors enable non-contact web guiding of highly transparent films, paper and other sound-impermeable materials such as corrugated cardboard, textiles or rubber. When used in dusty and dirty environments, the robust sensors are clearly superior to optical solutions. The position of the web edge is crucial for the web guide control and for ensuring that the material web always stays ‘on track’. The ultrasonic web edge sensors monitor the material position with the highest precision, enabling real-time adjustments, e.g. for battery films.
The ucs ultrasonic sensors in a robust metal housing are mechanically compatible with the industry standard for opto-sensors. The sensor series has been updated and now features IO-Link 1.1.2 and Smart Sensor Profile. This means that the ultrasonic sensors can not only measure precise distances, but also transmit identification and status information. Limit values or switching points can be easily set via IO-Link, which significantly increases operating comfort.
August 2024 Dortmund: We are delighted to welcome our new colleagues to Dortmund. We wish you all a good start and a great time with us.

The nano ultrasonic sensors are now equipped with an IO-Link interface in version 1.1.2 and Smart Sensor Profile. The IO-Link interface transmits identification, status and diagnostic values in addition to the measured distances. Limit levels or switching points can be easily set with IO-Link.
With an overall length of only 55 mm including the connector, it is the shortest M12 ultrasonic sensor on the market. The housing design and mounting are compatible with many inductive and capacitive sensors. This makes it easier to switch to the nano, especially for critical applications.
The brand new sensor family cube covers a measuring range of 65 mm to 5 m with its three detection ranges. The sensors are available in two output stages - 1 Push-Pull switching output as well as 1 Push-Pull switching output with analogue output or switchable to a 2nd swichting output. The sensors are equipped with IO-Link interface version 1.1.2.
The cube can be turned in five positions thank to rotation sensor head. The sensor can be mounted quickly and easily with the QuickLock mounting bracket. The LED display is visible in any mounting positions. The convenient mounting allows flexible use in numerous applications.
The new crm+ level sensors are equipped with IO-Link interface version 1.1. The IO-Link interface transfers measured distance values as well as identification, status and diagnosis values. It can easily be set with IO-Link maximum distances or switching points. The robust sensors cover a measuring range from 30 mm to 8 m with its five detections ranges. The additional digital display shows the measured value in mm/cm directly at the sensor. The Push-Pull switching output is used in standard-IO mode or switching output (pnp or npn).
The crm+ sensors in M30 stainless steel housing detect continuously levels of liquids and all kinds of bulk materials that reflect sound. This enables non-contact level control regardless of color or transparency. Ultrasonic sensors do not have any problems with dust and fog in the measuring distance. The protective film of the crm+ sensors makes it easy to remove soiling, i.e. splashing during filling process. Additionally, level control on aggressive media is also possible.
The new esf-1 label sensor from microsonic is equipped with a PNP switching output and a Push-Pull switching output with IO-Link version 1.1. The compact fork housing can be fitted close to the dispenser edge. The sensor reliably detects the label edge at high web speeds and with the improved evaluation algorithm, it can even detect difficult labels. To the ultrasonic sensor, it does not matter whether the labels are metallized, or made of foil or paper. Even changing colours and degrees of transparency have no effect on the certain detection in the labelling process. In addition, the sensor can also be used to detect adhesive joints and splices.
Along with the launching of version 1.1 of IO-Link, the esf-1 label sensor also got an improved evaluation algorithm. In the teach-in phase of the labels, the algorithm more precisely analyses the transitions between the base material and the label. Some labels can cause so-called overshoots in the area of these transitions. The overshoots depend on the material and thickness of the labels. The overshoots are thus better detected and suppressed for the automatic determination of the switching threshold. Labels that were difficult to detect with ultrasound in the past can now be learnt easily with the esf-1 and positioned with certainty.
IO-Link is not fast enough for the exact positioning of the labels. This continues to be done in SIO mode. Through the IO-Link interface, the label sensor settings can be made directly at the controller without having to operate the sensor on-site. The sensor has the smart auxiliary function recipe management integrated in it via IO-Link. To that end, the different labels are first learnt and the material parameters are saved in the controller. If the label is changed, the operator selects the label type at the controller. The controller rewrites the label-specific parameters to the sensor. This shortens the expensive setup time.

Прочные датчики mic+ в резьбовой втулке M30 с пятью дальностями действия покрывают рабочий диапазон в 30 мм - 8 м. Мы предлагаем датчики с пятью различными выходными каскадами. Версия 1.1 интерфейса IO-Link была недавно интегрирована в датчики с двухтактным Push-Pull выходом. В дополнение к технологическим параметрам, интерфейс IO-Link осуществляет передачу также параметров идентификации, статуса и диагностики, а также поддерживает Smart Sensor Profil. Благодаря рабочей температуре в -25°C - 70°C преимущества датчиков могут широко использоваться в самых разных областях применения, напр. в сферах автоматизации производства или сельскохозяйственной техники.
Трехразрядный цифровой дисплей датчика mic+ напрямую указывает замеренные значения и служит простой настройке конфигурации ультразвуковых датчиков. Таким образом, точки переключения, пределы срабатывания при оконном режиме или увеличение/уменьшение аналогового сигнала могут настраиваться предварительно в цифровой форме с помощью цифровой индикации без необходимости нахождения объекта в пределах рабочего диапазона датчика. Вы можете полностью настроить датчик вне актуального применения и затем установить его в место использования.
Фирма microsonic снабдила новую серию датчиков lpc+ двумя выходными каскадами. Датчики в резьбовой втулке M18 имеют следующие опциональные функции
Благодаря четырем дальностям действия (150 мм, 250 мм, 350 мм и 1000 мм) новые ультразвуковые датчики покрывают рабочий диапазон в 20 мм – 1,3 м.
Благодаря интерфейсу IO-Link датчики lpc+ могут быть просто и надежно параметрированы устройством управления даже во время работы. Настройка на месте не требуется, но возможна с LinkControl. В дополнение к технологическим параметрам, интерфейс IO-Link осуществляет передачу также параметров идентификации, статуса и диагностики, а также поддерживает Smart Sensor Profil.
Преимущества Smart Sensor Profile окупаются при использовании различных устройств IO-Link (датчики, исполнительные устройства) в одном применении. В файле IODD, Smart Sensor Profile объединяет независимые от производителя функции, упрощает операции и, следовательно, снижает трудоемкость интеграции.
“A safe and easy-to-clean factory is the highest requirement in the production of medicines and food,” thus Johannes Schulte, Managing Director of microsonic. The technical components installed in production and packaging machines must withstand difficult ambient conditions and intensive cleaning processes.
Compact ultrasonic sensor with a sophisticated geometry in a number of versions. The unusual housing geometry of the sensor satisfies important demands placed on the hygienic design: whether top to bottom fill level measurement, or horizontal object measurement, a housing surface never has a horizontal alignment, despite installation position. This means that the cleaning fluids are able to run off completely, regardless of the installation situation.
With its stainless steel housing, the pms has been designed without crevices or dirt edges and is highly-suited to intensive cleaning and disinfection. Bacteria are unable to find any breeding ground on the smooth surface; cleaning agents flow away completely, irrespective of the installation position. The PTFE-encapsulated ultrasonic transducer protects the sensor membrane from aggressive chemical cleaning agents. Cables can be installed outside the process, to ensure a hygienic solution.
With four different detection ranges, the new pms ultrasonic sensor covers a broad measuring range of 20 mm to 1.3 m. The sensors are fitted with a Push-Pull switching output and IO-Link in the version 1.1 or with an 0-10 V or 4-20 mA analogue output. This covers a very broad spectrum of different applications.
The standard version of pms sensor with a D12 adapter shaft can be fitted in a mounting clip or a flange screw connection. The D12 bayonet catch enables sensors to the installed quickly and affordably in an established fastening system and can be replaced just as quickly without the need for tools. An overview of the Technical data of the hygienic sensor pms
Ultrasonic one-way reflective barrier for contact free detection of objects specially in the most diverse applications e.g. with bottles or plastic foils. ews sensors are available in cubical as well as cylindrical housing and are competitive with most through-beam light barriers.
one ultrasonic sensor ews, set as emitter, sends cyclic sound impulses, received by another one, set as receiver. If an object interrupts the measuring track between the set transmitter and the receiver, the switched output of the receiver is set.
sks ultrasonic sensors are the smallest, cuboidal sensors from microsonic and now available with IO-Link interface. The IO-link interface in our ultrasonic sensors provides everything in order to implement continuous communication all the way through system architecture right into the sensor. The sks sensor has a measurement range from 20 to 250 mm.
pico+TF ultrasonic sensors are designed for filling level control of small containers due to its compact housing dimensions. The Teflon film protects the ultrasonic transducer against aggressive media. The transducer itself is sealed againg the housing by a joint ring.
„In the founding year of our company we sold a whopping nine sensors“, Johannes Schulte, founder of microsonic GmbH remembers. 25 Years have passed and today microsonic is in the top three of the world's ultrasonic sensor producers. microsonic doubled its production capacities at the new company location at PHOENIX Lake. The building was designed by Architekturbüros F&G Geddert und plus 4930 Düsseldorf • Berlin and erected by Freundlieb Bauunternehmung GmbH & Co. KG in Dortmund. On a 4,300m² piece of land a three-floored building was constructed that includes manufacturing and storage areas, R&D labs and an entire floor for management, sales and admin.
On September 15, 2015, the Dortmund specialist für ultrasound sensors officially inaugurated their new headquarters. Clients and partners from Germany and other countries as well as guests from industry, science and politics had the opportunity to explore the new company building in what was once the steel production site Phoenix East. "microsonic brings a highly innovative company to its new headquarters in the historical steel production site Phoenix. Looking at the rise of this two-man-company into a leading specialist for ultrasonic sensors and viewing their new location at Phoenix, one term springs to mind: vivid structural change," said Garrelt Duin, Economy Minister of North Rhine/ Westphalia, about this double event. After specialist presentations, a sensor exhibition and a show presentation of sensor manufacture, a festive summer party on the roof terrace rounded off the 25th anniversary and headquarters inauguration.
Phoenix East was once a production site for high-quality steel. Today microsonic utilizes this location and its infrastructure, among other things, to provide an attractive working environment - the spacious cafeteria, for example, offers a clear view of Phoenix Lake. Architecturally, the modern, newly-constructed building is bright and open, with much glass and steel in its design. The central light tower connects the individual departments of the three building levels, ensuring close interconnection of daily business processes. The green roof terrace facing south creates an open communication space for large and small meetings and a recreational area for employees during their breaks.
